The following is crossposted from Straßgefühl. Comment is free. Three of the new (well, now more like newish) Czech-built DC Streetcar trams shipped out yesterday , after years of testing and stasis. It'll apparently take them about a month to cross the pond. What I've seen of them are really beautiful, but Spencer Lepler immediatelywondered why the trams appear to be in DDOT's "Circulator"...
Momus doesn't think much of the blog The Noughties Were Shit , seeing it as symptomatic of 'English self-deprecation' and its attendant arrogance. After a quickscan of the blog, I reckon he's being a bit unfair.

Note: This was originally posted almost two years ago in December of 2007. It is interesting to me to see how much more sophisticated my writing on finances is now than it was then.

I honestly find it very difficult to see how we, with the standard Westernised concepts of time, space and general view of the way...
Shit. I'm here again because I can't get my new blog to embed into the website. I'm such a joke when it comes to web work. I pretend like I know what the hell I'm doing but miadzin is the brain. I dare not even copy & paste when he's not around. I feel like a kid on these pages. The interface is brightly colored and a little patronizing. Livejournal is a delivery system for youth. Enthusiastic...
